The gauge pressure of water at C is 40 lb/in2. If water flows out of the pipe at A and B with velocities vA = 12 ft/s and vB = 25 ft/s, determine the horizontal and vertical components of force exerted on the elbow necessary to hold the pipe assembly in equilibrium. Neglect the weight of water within the pipe and the weight of the pipe. The pipe has a diameter of 0.75 in. at C, and at A and B the diameter is 0.5 in. γw = 62.4 lb/ft3.
